Ashar Zaidi was unhappy with the decision by Nigel Llong

Zaidi took to social media to express his disappointment at being given out lbw by Nigel Llong during Tuesday's County Championship match against Somerset, appearing to gesture with his bat to suggest he had hit the ball.

Shortly after his dismissal, the 32-year-old tweeted "stinker" in what was taken to be a damning reference to the verdict.

The message was quickly removed but he was disciplined on Thursday for what the county deemed a "Twitter-related incident".
